Seminoe Mountains, Wyoming
We drove a "Scenic Backway" through the Seminole Mountains between Sinclair and Casper, WY. The roads went from paved to easy to moderate with some sharp inclines, loose gravel, and some cool side roads to swimming and camping areas posted 4x4 only. Encountered a snow storm, fierce rains and wind, and cooler than normal temps. Free range cattle and elk were the rule. Passed a VW Passat "crawling" up the mountain when we were coming out, hope she made it!
Crawled up a few rocky side roads, until it got too rough for my daily driver.
